Category Basics

When crafting items for your menu, you can categorize them into groups to enhance menu organization, such as “breakfast” or “smoothies.”

Categories can vary depending on the settings you enable. For instance, categories can have distinct tax rates, be scheduled to appear at specific times, and be enabled or disabled on various Dripos platforms. You can create, manage, and edit categories through the Dripos Web Dashboard.
